To all ZUZLOHZ it may concern: 7 I

Be it known that I, CARL HEDMAN, a citizen of Sweden (first papers-having been taken out to become acitizen ofthe United States), residing at; Spokane, in Spokane County, and State of "Washington, have in-' vented certain new and useful 'ImproVe ments in Doors, of which the following is a specification.

My present invention relates to improvements in doors of the swinging type for use i in houses aS well as in other structures, and

particularly applies to the construction of the door. The primary object of the invention is the provision of a door wherein the hanging style of the door is constructed and arranged in such manner as to c'o-act with the joint strip or strips of the door frame or casing to present a neat and workmanlike finish, to substantially close the joint between the door and its casing and thus eliminate any openings or cracks between the hinged door and its casing. By this construction the danger of children or others having their fingers caught between the door and its casing is eliminated, and an effectual seal is afforded at the joint regardless of the position of the hinged door. The invention further contemplates economy and facility in constructing the door and its hanging style, together with the construction of the door frame as will be hereinafter more fully pointed out and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings I have illustrated the adaptation. of my invention to two forms of doors, and illustrated the parts as combined and arranged accordin to the best mode I have thus far devise for the practical application of the principles of my invention.

Figure 1 is a view in perspective of a swinging, panel. door, which may be either a oneway door or a two-way door, having the hanging style which forms a feature of my invention applied thereto, and show ing also one of the bearing or hinge plates for the door pintle.

Figure 2 is an enlarged View in perspective, showing a portion of a molding strip, one or two of which are used on the door casing in combination with the hanging style of the door.

Figure 3 is an enlarged view in perspective, showing a portion of a circular bead forming the hanging style of the door.

Figure 4 is a detail, horizontal, sectional view showing the relation of the door and its'casing, the door being of the-two-way swinging type. I j I Figure dis a similar view showing the invention as applied to the usual one-way door. I I Figure 6 is a perspective View of one of thetwohanging plates or pintle plates of the 'door.i" 1 i Figure? is a' perspective view of a frag ment of the door at an upper corner illustrating the pintle plate'and hanging style. "Forrconvenience "of illustration I have shown in Figure- 14.- panel door 1, and

indicating its rear edge as 2. At its rear 7 edge is attached the hanging style 3, which as shown is around or circular bead, preferably of wood, although it may be of other suitable material, and fashioned with its rear or outer face of arcuate shape. The bead may be fashioned in suitable lengths as stock material, on a machine, and is circular in cross section. In shaping the mold strip or bead, it isalso grooved longitudinally to form a mortise 4, and this mortised bead is afterward cut toproper lengths corresponding to the height of the door upon which it is to be used as the hanging style. The mortised hanging style is fitted over the edge 20f the door and may be secured thereto by nails, screws, or in other workthe plates for the door pintles, not shown.

In Figures 4' and 5. the door casing is illustrated and indicated as a whole by the numeral 8, and it will be understood that the pintles or pivots for the door are alined in a vertical plane and project downwardly and upwardly with relation to the top and bottom edges of the door.

In combination with the arcuate hanging style of the door I utilize a casing strip 9 having a concave or curved edge 10. This strip is fashioned in a molding machine and cut intolengthssuitable for use in the door casing.

It will be apparent that the molding strip 9 is reversible or interchangeable for use at either side of the door. For instance in the one-way door of Figure 5 a single strip 9 is used at one side of the door, which door as shown by dotted: lines is capable of- .swinging through an arc of 90.

readily be reversed as to position, and placed at the left side of the door in Figu-re5,v if: desired: Whether a s-ingle stiz'ip-or a double stri'pais used a channel is formed at the edge for the hanging style' of the door that is effectually closed at the joint between the style and; casing strip, and the strip or? strips; form guides for the; Rotating hangingstyle; 1

It Will be evident that the head 3 and the molding stri 9 may be constructed or fashioned at the mill at comparatively slight expense and kept in stock for use in constructing and hanging the door, and that bothtimeand labor are saved in constructing and hanging the door.

Having thus fullydesor ibed my invention What- I claim; as new and desire; tose cure by Letters? Patent is 'Dh-e' combinationi with a door, 01% a hanging style circularin: cross section and havinga longitudinal mortise receiving an edge ot the. doortop: andl bottom circular bearing'r plates attached to said style" and inte gral arms on said plates attaohe'ds to the door,- and a door casing-having a molding stripformed With} a concave: face for." engaging: said style:
